Notes

'Martinette' daffodil (Narcissus 'Martinette') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fragrant blooms have lemon yellow petals with an orange cup and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. H.I. Tuggle Jr bred it.

Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Minuteman hosta, and Prairie dropseed.
